Key points
- Post-crisis regulatory reforms, which have transformed OTC derivatives from a relationship-focused business to a regulation-focused business, have created challenges for institutions that have traditionally focused on the relationship business.
- ISDA, a linchpin of the relationship-focused derivatives business, has adjusted its focus to adapt to a world where regulation is a primary focus.
- P.R.I.M.E. Finance, which did not exist before the crisis, can explore ways to expand its focus in the new world of regulation even as it continues to develop its offerings of dispute resolution, education and information resources for the relationship world.
